Detailed Description

It is very important to close the stream once no more reading or writting operations will be performed to ensure data is successfully stored.

Whereas string attributes are set and got using the Value class, text attributes are operated using a stream pattern.

Use of TextStream for writing: (i) Create a TextStream instance and (ii) set the stream for a text attribute of a node or edge instance with the graph SetAttributeText method. Once the set attribute text has been done, (iii) perform as many write operations as you need to the TextStream instance. Lastly, (iv) exeucte Close to flush and close the stream.

Use of TextStream for reading: (i) Get the stream of a text attribute of a node or edge instance with the GetAttributeText graph method. Once you have the TextStream instance, (ii) you can execute Read operations to read from the stream. (iii) The end of the stream is reached when Read returns 0. Finally, (iv) execute Close to close stream resources.
